You ever been in a grocery store and wonder how it is that food that sucks for your health is far cheaper than the food that’s actually good for you?
True story. Back in my younger grad school days, here in Annapolis I went to Giant Foods, I took $200 or so, went up and down the aisles buying junk food on specials (ie 10 JUMBO bags of cheese puffs for $10, 15 packages of Ramen Noodles (which has high sodium as hell – 38% at the time) for $10, etc). By the time I was done, I had bags of groceries hanging out of the car almost.
As I got older and into watching more of what I ate, I took a different $200 to the same store, bought 2 boxes of Kashi cereal – $9. A 4-pack of bran muffins – $6. Almond milk – $7 for a HALF GALLON. Needless to say, when I got back to the car, I had 2 1/2 bags maybe!
You know why? Grocery store shopping is something we see as a necessity, but the stores themselves see as a science. Different foods are placed strategically around the store, you think I’m kidding? Walk into any grocery store. I’ll bet you the milk/cheese/dairy products are all along the outer walls, along with the bread, meats, and fruits/vegetables. EVERYTHING ELSE is in the aisles (peanut butter, cooking oils, condiments, etc). See? Science.
